Would it be completely big-headed and delusional of me to say the top half of this illustration reminds me of Quentin Blake’s work?

at the library
I went to the library for a little people-sketching, but my pen ran out of ink after the first guy so this is all I got.
macadamia
I’m pretty sure this is my most-sketched tree here. We’re unsure why it’s chosen to grow so tall and skinny, but we’re now watering it further from the trunk to see if we can encourage it to spread wider.
point dume
S & I spent a lovely hour or two at Point Dume, sketching the view and watching the whales (six!) and dolphins. It was unseasonably warm and the sea was silky smooth. Gah, I am so lucky to live in this beautiful place (with the colours of the Ukrainian flag) 😊
american badger
I did my first stint in the MCSP Visitor Center today, where they have a lot of taxidermy animals and birds. This sketch was done from one such specimen. Learn something new every day!
ferns of mcsp
I’ve been doing some fern-spotting, and sketching, in Malibu Creek State Park. More to come!
textures
A little corner of our place, where textures soft, scratchy, smooth, rough, flaky and crumbly play nicely together.
map fun
Working on my Docent homework 😊
happy fuchsia
This gift from Annette lives on a shady shelf outside my kitchen window, where it seems very happy, and makes me smile daily.
nature and culture
It’s a good day when I can get out and enjoy both nature and culture. Astrida & I loved the Fabulous Fiber exhibit at BG Gallery in Bergamot Station. And, of course, a visit to Temescal never disappoints. These well-worn steps climbing the slope under a spreading oak are made from log cross-sections.
